EPUB anyone

Hi

Is there anyone working on/with EPUB in Pharo?

If I remember correctly there was once the idea of an
EPUB exporter for Pillar.

Status/Plans?

Thanks for an update

Bye

I don't know of anything on this front. But that's still a feature we
would like.

Well I do use pandoc to convert markup to everything. Mainly because I
thing that is more momentum around scholar markdown[1] and is difficult
to push several light markup languages in this uncharted territory.
Pandoc has support for yaml embedded (arbitrary) data. Of course having
Pillar using markdown + yaml natively and export to LaTeX and HTML will
be the killer feature to stop needing pandoc. Meanwhile I imagine that
at some point I will use AST to hack/extend pandoc with Smalltalk,
bridging these two words and having the advantages of smalltalk and
scholarly markdown for scientific writing... time will tell.

Hi,

This is on the todo list of Pillar but noone works on Pillar for now
except for some minor issues.

I think this will not be hard because the architecture of Pillar is very
good for the exports and there is a lot of tests that can easily be
extend for an other exporter.

Long ago, I added an EPUB exporter to Pier-Book, but it was added to Pier2.
The fork off point for Pier3 happened just before the EPUB piece.
I see that it is still available at:
    http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/pier2/Pier-Book-YanniChiu.164.mcz

It would have to be ported to Pier3 or Pillar, or mined for code.

there are plenty of converters out there for coverting hmtl/pdf files to epub, why you need a pharo solution ?

We got two students working on epub for pillar but their never delivered.
What we learned is that is that it was not that complex. The meta data
were more a problem.
The pub exporter should not work.
